Woman charged in Addison Co. crime wave ADDISON Ñ Nicole M. Burgos, 29, of Addison was cited for a felony charge of possession of stolen property. The citation is related to the wave of Addison County burglaries that led to the July 31 arrest of BurgosÕ s domestic partner, Raymond R. Ritchie.

Multiple searches of the Burgos-Ritchie residence, that began on July 31 by the Vermont State Police, resulted in the recovery of thousands of pieces of stolen property.

Stolen property has been identified and returned to burglary victims as far back as 2010.

The Burgos citation comes as Vermont State Police near the close of the investigation.

Burgos will be arraigned in Addison Superior Court Criminal Division on Oct. 28 at the conclusion of her status conference hearing.

The status conference is slated for an 11 a.m. hearing; it is connected to BurgosÕ s cultivation of marijuana charge; that charge emanated from the July 31 search of the Burgos-Ritchie residence.

Progresson Midd bridge replacements

By Gail Callahan newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURYÑ The Main Street and Merchants Row Bridge Replacements project moved a step closer to construction last week as a wellattended public forum saw about 60 residents listened to how the scheme will impact the area.

The Oct. 1 public, informational meeting, which took place during the Select Board hearing, saw the panel approve conceptual plans and an amendment for the design of the planÕ s second, or B phase. Ò The contractor presented alternatives during this meeting,Ó said Board of Selectmen Chairman Dean George. Ò The town endorsed the tunnel as the preferred alternative.Ó Dean made his remarks during a telephone interview from Florida, identifying the plan as a state project.

George also acknowledged that the construction phase would likely upset the downtown area for a lengthy period of time. He expected building of the tunnel portion would start as soon as the next construction season arrived, running through the busy summer and fall foliage periods. A building time line is expected to be made

A new native stone memorial, located in Rutland’s Main Street Park, honors service members of the Korean War. Eagle photo

RUTLAND Ñ Vermont Korean War veterans were on hand for the solemn dedication of a new war memorial in Rutland Sept. 28. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the longest military cease fire in history.

The plain, native stone memorialÑ inscribed with the words, Ò Freedom is not freeÓ Ñ is located in Main Street Park (U.S. Route 7); it honors fallen and living service members of the United Nations Ò police actionÓ of the early 1950s. The monument stands at the opposite end of the park from the cityÕ s Vietnam War memorial.

While the Korean War ended in 1953, the armistice between the parties involved is considered to be a cease-fire agreement only and not an actual peace treaty.

United Nations forces included 178,426 dead and 32,925 missing. Approximately 2.5 million civilians were killed and wounded. North Korea claims it was the victor of the conflict.

Joining Vermont veterans during the ceremony, along with families and guests, were Rutland City Mayor Christopher Louras. Board of Alderman President David Allaire, Aldermen William Notte and Gary Donahue, as well as Jeffery CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Homeward Bound strengthens the human-animal connection

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Addison County Humane Society, doing business as Homeward Bound Animal Welfare Center, has come a long way since its inception in 1975. The animal shelter started in Cornwall and quickly outgrew its home. Today, the modern animal-welfare facility is located on Boardman Street in Middlebury, behind Middlebury Fitness, and next to Desebrais & Son Glass Service.

According to Jessica Danyow, Homeward BoundÕ s new executive director, the mission of the center is still the same although it has evolved by adding more services for both animals and people. Ò Because weÕ re not funded by the national Humane Society,Ó Danyow said, Ò weÕ re responsible for fundraising to keep the center open, feeding and caring, and growing the organization.”

Danyow began her career in animal welfare after she graduated from Tufts University in 2002 with a masterÕ s degree on animal and public policy. Her focus on animal welfare has grown into a professional career where she can now help educate the public about the animal-human connection as well as advocate for homeless animals. Ò I started as a kennel assistant at the Chittenden County Humane Society and was shelter manager at the Rutland County Humane Society for 10 years,Ó she said. With her move to the Addison County organization, sheÕ s also responsible for major administration and fundraising responsibilities.

A home to dogs, cats, and other creatures in search of new companionship, Homeward Bound adopted its new public name during the 2010-12 capital campaign; that countywide drive saw the opening of the centerÕ s new Boardman Street annex.

While the public may think of Homeward Bound as a traditional animal shelter, it is a fare greater resource to the community than what meets the eye.

Concerns such as animal neglect, cruelty and abandonment are becoming a bigger piece of the centerÕ s multi-faceted mission. Ò We also have many programs to help pet owners,Ó Darrow noted. Ò For example, we can help pet owners in trouble—those with financial concerns as well as aging owners.

We support the human connection with animals, so if we can help maintain that, we do our best.Ó As an example of how much

the traditional animal shelter image has changed in the 21st centuryÑ to improve the lives between humans and their petsÑ Darrow said a workshop on animal massage will be offered Oct. 27 by Sheri Simon of the Qi Vet Clinic in South Burlington. Other programs like it are offered regularly at the Middlebury center.

It should be noted that Homeward BoundÕ s new annex includes more than just offices—it includes new dog kennels, an indoor-outdoor fenced access for animals, a training room, space for consulting, exercise and rehabilitation, a reception area, and more.

Dogs and cats are the image anyone things of when the term animal shelter is mentioned Ò Well, we do see more cats than dogs,Ó Darrow said. Ò ThatÕ s because cats are more casually owned than dogs so their are many without I.D. tags; they can’t find their way home. so they end up here. So, weÕ re offering new technology to help track pets.Ó

Dogs and cats can be microchipped now for better trackingÑ no physical collars or tags are required. Local animal control officers or animal shelter workers can now scan the animal and learn about it on a growing database.

Still of major concern for Homeward Bound staff and volunteers is the pet overpopulation problem in Vermont, especially in the feline world. Ò We strongly support spay and neutering,Ó Darrow said.

Vermont is known for its feral barn cats; according to the Mark Twain wildlife-education comic series, the Green Mountain State boasts the largest feral cat population among the 50 states. So whenever possible, feral cats are humanely trapped, neutered, and released or adopted.

But Homeward Bound isnÕ t all about dogs and cats.

Rabbits, guinea pigs and other critters also make up the remaining portion of the animal community looking for new homes. So, regardless of the species, adopting a pet is serious

business, Darrow cautioned. Ò When a person visits us and selects an animal he or she loves, they must know itÕ s a long-term commitment,Ó she said. Ò We ask them, first, if they can care for the animal, if they can provide for it, if they can handle it.Ó No matter how you look at it, Homeward Bound is providing Addison County residents with more than animals in search of a loving home. In a way, the center acts as a portal to wellness for animals and humans alike. Ò Studies have shown that pet owners live longer lifespans with animal companionshipÑ you can lower your blood pressure and less stressfully with a pet,Ó Darrow said.

And for all the hard work saving and caring for marginalized animals performed by Darrow and her intrepid crew of employees and volunteers, thereÕ s a reward at the end of the day that doesnÕ t have a price on it.

New Korean War memorial

L

ast week, a new war memorial honoring Vermont veterans was commemorated in downtown Rutland. The monument honors the stateÕ s Korean War-era service men and women.

Just a few months ago, during this yearÕ s 60th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations Korean Armistice Agreement, leaders of the so-called Democratic PeopleÕ s Republic of North Korea announced that their nation has scrapped its non-aggression pact with South Korea and her allies.

The U.N. brokered armistice was signed on July 27, 1953. It created a DMZ, Demilitarized Zone, along the mountainous border dividing the two nations, just about at the 38th north parallel of latitude.

According to Barry L. Briggs, who wrote the book Ò Land of the Morning StormÓ , a moving account about the Koreas, Ò Everywhere in South Korea I was reminded of events of the war, and of my father. What river were we crossing? I asked one day. The Naktong, I was toldÑ the site of the famous Pusan Perimeter where inexperienced South Korean and American forces just barely held against the battle-hardened, numerically superior PeopleÕ s Army.Ó After nearly three bloody years of war, an armistice was signed by U.S. Army Lt. Gen. William Harrison for the U.N., Gen. Nam Il of North Korea representing the North Korean PeopleÕ s Army, as well as by representatives of Red China.

Technically, the war hasnÕ t really ended, butÑ so farÑ there has been 60 years without full-blown combatÑ although various incidents, such as the hijacking of the USS Pueblo in 1968, indicate that the 1953 “peace” is really nothing more than a prolonged cease fire between the two Koreas.

With all that background as prologue, many Korean War veterans here in Vermont have found this 60th year to be a tough one to get through. Their memories of fallen comrades and disrupted lives endure through more than half a century.

While it’s sometimes hard for us to express how much we appreciate the sacrifices of war veterans, our Korean War vets should know that many of us do care. The veterans of the Ò Forgotten WarÓ were duly honored at the dedication of the new, native stone monument in RutlandÕ s Main Street Pakr along U.S. Route 7 on Sept. 28 George F. Bates (CSM, Ret.), chairman of the Korean War Veterans, has helped reunite many Vermont Korean War-era vets during this 60th anniversary year. We salute this brave veteran for his love of country and for his love of fellow vets.

So, even as the 60-year-long peace on the Korean peninsula is under threat, it is especially worth pausing to remember Korean War vets who have passed on, as well as those still among us. What these men and women endured in Korea is difficult to comprehend today.

Let’s pray that the personal sacrifices of all veterans have not been in vain. And let’s also pray for a lasting peace between the two Koreas.

MALT’s TAM Trek is annual event

MIDDLEBURY Ñ MiddleburyÕ s 10th annual TAM Trek, along the 16-mile-long, circumferential Trail Around Middlebury, was held Sunday, Sept. 22.

The event was sponsored by over a dozen local businesses and MALT, the Middlebury Area Land Trust.

Individuals, families including teams hiked or raced the TAM path to help benefit MALT. All the walks started at the Middlebury College Football Stadium along Route 30.

The TAM is within the town limits of Middlebury and connects both town and conserved properties, with school grounds, as well as several area landmarks.

Wissler folk art on display in Brandon

BRANDON Ñ The Compass Music and Arts Center offers a great opportunity to see a selection of work by one of the areaÕ s most beloved artists.

Prindle Wissler was a life-long artist and teacher who studied art at Skidmore College and Columbia University but was a lifetime learner, making discoveries and messes, as she would say, right up to the time of her death at the Lodge at Otter Creek in Middlebury, Aug. 15, 2011, at the age of 99.

Prindle taught in New Hampshire after college but settled in Middlebury when she married her husband, Ben, who taught physics at Middlebury College while she taught art at the Mary Hogan Elementary School.

Regardless of being classified as legally blind in her later years, Wissler continued to create work, simply adapting her technique by working very close to her paper, making abstract drawings. That spirit, sense of fearlessness toward experimentation and love for what she did, says a lot about the woman and a lot about the body of work she created. The collection of work Prindle left behind reflects a lifetime of learning and experimenting, resulting in pieces which show a great range of artistic styles, mediums, and influences.

The title of the exhibit, Ò The Inhabited World of Prindle WisslerÓ , speaks to this variety seen in her work, but also to her incredible sense of humor and fun. Prindle chose not to create realistic representations in her art and she didnÕ t teach that either. She taught and lived the notion of using oneÕ s imagination.

The pieces on display were selected by her son Richard Wissler, an artist in his own right, to show the breadth of her work over the course of roughly nine decades of artistic endeavors.

Wissler hopes that the exhibit about his mother will continue to evidence of her distinctiveness as an artist and give prominence to her position as a key artist in Vermont. Ask those she influenced the most, her students, and they will be the first to say she is not someone who should be forgotten.

The exhibit of over 20 pieces continues through October. All works are for sale.

Compass Music and Arts Center is open seven days a week at 333 Jones Dr. in Brandon.

Report: wood pellets still overlooked as fuel

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com BRISTOL Ñ The State of Vermont, under the governorship of Peter Shumlin (D), has committed itself to developing more affordable and sustainable heat energy that is socially, environmentally, and economically responsible. Included in the mix of energy sources are wood pellets.

Wood pellets are being manufactured in the Green Mountain State from locally harvested resources.

While pellet stoves have appeared to become more popular as a way to heat during VermontÕ s long, cold winters, the picture isnÕ t completely cheery.

A new report which looks at the production and use of wood pellets in the state was released a few weeks ago; it articulates hopes and challenges for the increased use of wood pellets in Vermont, including the planned opening of a new wood pellet mill along Route 4 in Fair Haven. Ò Despite enjoying enormous market growth, wood pellets still remain largely

an overlooked heat energy source,Ó said Jason Lorber, Aplomb Consulting, who authored the study. Ò Nevertheless, consumers and leaders from environmental, industry, and government sectors report that Vermont should and is likely to see more usage of wood pellets.Ó The report, entitled Ò Wood Pellets for VermontÓ was commissioned by the nonprofit Vermont Sustainable Heating Initiative.

The entire 44-page report is available online at www.aplomb.com.

Homeward Bound pets for adoption

M I D D L E BURY Ñ Hi there! IÕ m Chevy, one of the several wonderful dogs here at the shelter. IÕ m a small, young, loving fellow who is fun and friendly and adores being with people.

I have had a really rough start at things, and IÕ m so anxious to find my forever home where IÕ ll be adored, loved and provided a good structure and routine. I would benefit greatly with lots of exercise and good obedience training. IÕ m very smart and have learned a lot of commands already. I am working on my jumping manners, as I get so excited to see people. I love to play and I need a lot of exercise as IÕ m a youthful boy! IÕ d be a fantastic agility dog!

I can not go to a home with children, but do enjoy the company of other dogs. Mealtimes will have to be managed. It is imperative for me to go to a home that is knowledgeable and comfortable with food resource guarding issues.

Rutland County Humane Society

RUTLAND Ñ The Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) would like to remind you that October is Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month and we have many wonderful dogs waiting to find their forever homes.

Dogs make terrific pets and will keep you warm during the cold months ahead. To find out what dogs are currently available for adoption please call RCHS at 483.6700 or visit our website at www.rchsvt.org.

MEEKA 6.5 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Gray.

I am a little nervous Nelly but once I get to know you I am a sweet little lady for sure. I came to the shelter on Sept. 13 because I am way too scared of the dog I was living with and the young child made me a bit uneasy as well. I am trying to work on these apprehensions but life can be overwhelming at times. Because of all of that I prefer a quiet home where I can be the queen bee.

However, this queen bee should stay inside because that is the life I am used to.

KLAUS 2 years old. Neutered Male. Domestic Medium Hair Black.

Check me out. I am a sweet guy who is a little cautious at

October 12, 2013 first but I have the ability to warm up quickly. I have a handsome face and really want to spend time with my new family and watch some movies.

Hint, hintÑ that means I desire an inside only home where I can be safe and spoiled. I would love to meet you for sure. I am enjoying the community cat rooms here, which means I am ok with other feline friends however I am ready to settle into my new forever home soon.

CanÕ t wait to meet you.

PEANUT 4 months old. Spayed Female. American Shelter Dog. Cute, cute, cute, thatÕ s me.

IÕ m a petite little lady who is looking for a quiet home because I get very nervous when there is too much commotion and things going on. IÕ m also looking for a patient owner who will give me the time I need to settle in and get comfortable. Once I relax IÕ m a real sweetie who will give you kisses and happily snuggle in your arms. I think IÕ d enjoy hanging out with you while we watch T.V. and enjoy each otherÕ s company.

FISHY 3 years old. Neutered Male. Domestic Short Hair Brown Tiger.

Nothing fishy about me. I am a superb boy with a super sweet personality and a very unique look. Originally I was adopted from here a little over a year ago. I really am the best of both worlds, handsome and sweet. I enjoy sitting on your lap and lounging by the window. I am living with other cats here in the cat rooms and getting along with them just fine so I would not mind having a kitty friend or two in my new home.

Bridport theft under investigation

Sanders

from page 1 middle-class family has gone down by more than $5,000 since 1999,Ó Sanders said.

The biggest employer of low-wage workers in America is not Wal-Mart, not McDonaldÕ s, but the United States government, according to Sanders.

Along with Rep. Keith Ellison, the senator organized letters to President Obama urging him to sign an executive order to increase the pay of workers employed by federal contractors and subcontractors to at least $10.10 an hour and to ensure all of these workers receive decent wages and benefits.

Fifteen Democrat Party senators signed SanderÕ s letter to Obama and 50 Democrat party members of Congress signed Rep. EllisonÕ s version.

Two million employees work in private businesses that last year, alone, received more than $446 billion in federal contracts.

Sanders has co-sponsored legislation in the Senate that would raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.

Bridge

from page 1 public in early 2014, but town officials are currently uncertain of building sequencing.

Questions presented to town officials during the meeting ranged from environmental ones to questions about access to the Town Green during building to length of construction period.

Project team managers are slated to meet Oct. 11 and selection of a final construction manager and general contractor expected by the end of 2013. Two additional meetings were held, one at the end of September and one on Monday, to discuss utilities. Also, the project manager and property owner met , listing potential impacts for the Barber shop building, which abuts the building area, during construction.

George said the estimated cost of the entire project is expected to run about $17 million dollars, with the bridge and tunnel portions costing $1.5 million.

Town officials noted during the public information session that the State and the Federal Highway Adminis-

erator left the scene prior to police arrival and despite efforts by law enforcement and family, the suspected operator has not yet been located.

Water on road caused Cornwall accident

CORNWALL Ñ On Sept. 22, a motor vehicle driven by Nathan Carroll, 20, of Leicester was travelling north on Route 30 when it travelled off the west side of the road. Carroll travelled approximately 125 feet and collided with a tree. He told a trooper that the collision occurred at approximately 11:45 p.m.. at which time it was raining heavily and there was water in the road which caused him to hydroplane and leave the roadway. Carroll advised police that he was not injured and did not have any passengers.

Police seek accident driver

BRISTOL Ñ On Sept. 22, Vermont State Police were dispatched to a report of a one-vehicle collision on Plank Road in Bristol between the North Street and Burpee Road intersections. The op-

tration, an arm of the United States Transportation Agency, will participate in funding $1 million if Middlebury agrees to cover $500,000. George said town officials are currently looking at ways to raise the funds.

Documents from the Public Informational Meeting are available on the TownÕ s project website, www.middleburybridges.org.
